TAFicity, Inc., is a social and educational community for transracially
adoptive families. They offer opportunities for social connection among
families where welcome, acceptance, validation, and support naturally
develop and continuously occur. They provide educational programming to
meet the diverse needs of the transracially adoptive community so that
the community remains vital, fortified, and prepared to meet the needs
and challenges each of their families face with respect to our
individual diversities and adoptive nature.

Anyone interested in attending
or volunteering at a horse camp for children ages 7-14 from foster/adopt
families! The camp will be held in Kim, Colorado at the brand new
Mustang Pavilion July 10-14. The cost is $125/child. There are only
15-20 slots for kids and a need for 10 horse handlers! This will be a
great opportunity for these children to gain leadership skills using
horses, a low ropes course and other team and individual activities!
Therapist Dr. Cheri Meadowlark founder of Bridge Building Youth and
Family Services (
http://bbyf.webs.com/)
will conduct the camp based on her Biblical world view, personal life
experience and extensive background working with horses and foster/adopt
children. Right now our biggest need is for volunteer horse handlers,
ages 16 and up, to spend the week with these children. Horse handlers
don't have to be professionals but some experience is helpful. This is
not a riding camp, it is a camp to assist foster/adopt youth in building
relationships and using their unique life’s experiences to become
leaders.
If you know of anyone interested in an opportunity to serve
foster/adopt children in this way please put them in touch with us: Ruth
Long - roolou@ hotmail.com or David Long - dellong@hotmail.com
